For Metallica give all the obvious stuff a listen (kill 'em all, ride the lightning, master of puppets, and justice for all, metallica) but also check out the stuff they did in the 90's (Load, Reload) cos they're playing stuff off basically every album apart from st anger on the world magnetic tour...

Also give skindred's cover of electric avenue ( http://www.myspace.com/skindred ) a listen cos its so frakking funny and apparently they nearly always play it live. As for Machine Head listen to Clenching The Fists Of Dissent, Halo, Aesthetics Of Hate, Imperium all f*cking awesome songs

as a huuuuuuuuuuuuuge machine head fan, pretty much any setlist would make me happy.

however, i expect them to play certain songs.

i expect they would open up with clenching the fists of dissent (my favourite), as they did at download a couple years back.

the staple songs would have to be: davidian, aesthetics of hate, old, imperium, the blood the sweat the tears, bulldozer and halo.

it would be nice to hear some of the lesser known songs played too though, such as the rage to overcome, block, im your god now, a farewell to arms, beautiful mourning, none but my own, from this day, crashing around you and bite the bullet.

but as i said, any mix of songs would appease me :D:D can't wait to see them

Hoping the BFMV set list will include:Just another starHand of bloodTears dont fallSpit you outScream aim fireTake it out me waking the demonashes of the innocenther voice resides4 words (to choke upon)the end

You might love the Coheed stuff but hate TPFI, but whatever just go out and listen to it if you want to.

Live performances are absolutely unimaginably amazing if you know the songs!so yeh this probably will be completely ignored but hope it helped if anyone out there actually wants to get into the band!

from what i've heard by coheed so far has been good, bit confused by the names of the albums but listening to the one with welcome home on it on spotify.

also to the dude who doesnt know any metallica none of their albums are really that much like st anger, it's critically seen as their worst album... if you like it maybe listen to the master of puppets album although ride the lightning is my favourite

WOW! 'St. Anger' is their worst album in many people's opinion.

At the festival they will probably play many songs from 'Death Magnetic' along with a lot of the 'Metallica' self titled album(Black Album) songs

Plus Fighting With Wire and Twin Atlantic on Saturday are 2 excellent up and combing bands at Bohemia.

Fighting With Wire are fantastic live! Saw Hundred Reasons briefly at Reading 2004 but wasn't into them then, have since bought their entire discography, they're a great band. Looking forward to seeing them at Soni, just hope they don't clash with anyone major!
